Teffa invited Likenix into a royal-looking carriage slash car, and Melph too, since she said she wouldn't be ignored. The trio happily climbed into the vehicle and set off towards their first destination, Mcapple Flats. "Did you see all those scrap heaps in the factory? I could totally kick their butts!" Melph bragged, receiving an eye roll from Likenix. Melph continued on about how incompetent the other robots were to all her awesome upgrades. Teffa suddenly tapped Likenix's shoulder and said, "We're meeting Ro first, so when he sees you, tell him you're on your period." "What? Why?" Likenix responded, confused. "Just do it, please?" Teffa asked politely. "Ooooookaayyy…" Likenix said. It took about an hour to get to the outskirts of the city, the drive consumed by either Teffa talking about her adventures or Melph making a witty remark. The three arrived at the rather southern looking farm and barn area, Likenix noticed that there was music playing. There at an outside bar stood a wolf/eagle/fairy hybrid dancing like a retard to dubstep as he converted goods from the farm into a variety of different alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks with crimson levitation magic. When he saw two females walking up to him he started to speak in a sing-song voice, "Heeyy-" "I'm on my period" Likenix cut him off before he could finish. "Oh…okay, I'm Ro" he said with a smile that seemed a little forced. "We just came to check on the drinks and it seems everything's fine! This is Likenix!" Teffa said cheerily. "Yeah…" Likenix sighed, then all of them heard the barn door open and loads of animals ran out into the open with a bulky wayvern /lion neex following close behind. Teffa grabbed Likenix's paw and went after the neex, leaving Melph and Ro behind to chat, "You're not on your period are you?" Ro asked a little sheepish. "I'm a robot, take a wild guess." Melph responded, as they conversed, Likenix and Teffa caught up to the neex just in time to see he herded the animals all into a fence flawlessly. Likenix was in awe, "that was amazing!" she exclaimed, walking over to the herder. He turned around to face Likenix, "oh, howdy!" he greeted as he shook Likenix's paw extremely fast, "we here at the McApple Flats sure do love makin' new friends!" Likenix pulled away, her paw still going up and down until Melph stopped it. "I was just here to help the princess supervise the progress of the volunteers, you're in charge of the food correct?" Likenix asked shyly. "Sure am miss…um…" "Likenix" she said, finishing the farmer's sentence. "Name's Tyrouge!" he responded, introducing himself and some family as they walked together to the kitchen where he baked and decorated all the treats for the party. Likenix signaled for Melph to follow her and they entered the building. The kitchen offered many different deserts, snacks, you name it, but the most confusing part was that Tyrouge was the only chef in the kitchen. "Wait, did you make all of these by yourself?" Likenix asked out of curiosity. "Eeyup!" came the short reply from Tyrouge, he seemed jovial due to Likenix being so impressed by his abilities. "Amazing, say, that apple pie looks delicious…" Likenix hinted, trying to ask to try it in a cute way. "Care to sample a bit? We've got apple pie, apple cakes, caramel apples, green delicious, golden delicious, custard pie, granny smith, apple cinnamon, apple sauce, apple juice, spiked apple juice, and apple cider." He recited then had to catch his breath. Likenix wanted to try most of the options when she noticed that she didn't hear her companion's voices behind her anymore. "Hey, where's Teffa and Melph?" Likenix asked and when she looked behind her, Teffa, Melph, and Ro were stuffing their mouths with all the sweets they could reach. They froze when they realized Likenix and Tyrouge were looking at them, then Melph put her hands up innocently, "I'm a robot, I don't need to worry about my weight!" she whimpered. Likenix started to walk over to were Melph was to give her a stern talking to when Tyrouge grabbed her shoulder, "hey, it's fine partner, I could always make some more." He stated calmly. "Oh…are you sure? It seems like it took a while to bake all of that…" Likenix asked. "Perfectly fine, everything is under control here miss Nix, don't worry about it." Tyrouge responded. "Alright…" Likenix concluded, looking over to Teffa, "Everything's good here, literally! Let's go see how Omias is doing!" she said. She, Likenix, and Melph set off to their final destination, Levo Library, a rather popular library in the large city. "Man, that Ro guy was super cool! He liked electric guitar, heavy metal, dubstep, partying, techno…" Melph continued on almost the entire time. Likenix's ears perked up at the mention of techno, her favorite music genre, but returned to normal when she realized Melph was only talking about that eagle-wolf guy Ro, "he seemed rude to me" Likenix uttered. "Everyone who has actual fun is rude" Melph contradicted Likenix's comment. "I have fun! Loads of fun" Teffa cheered, "You're not rude Teffa, your energetic" Likenix responded. For most of the trip, Melph and Teffa talked about their visit, until near the end, "hey Likenix, what do you want to talk about?" Teffa and Melph asked together. "Oh…um…I…umm…" Likenix stuttered "I…I like technology". Melph held back a laugh but Teffa expanded on the subject, "what about music, is there a way to like, um…tell the DJ Partner to play a different sound than what you selected?" Teffa asked. "Actually there is" Likenix began, "you simply access the code of the machine, click on the objects of the programming, find the object_button_whatever sound you're looking for, access its programming, find "when object_button_whatever sound you're looking for, play sound "default sound", access the properties of that code, rewrite the code to read, for example, "Object_beep_clicked=value=playsound_wave" instead of "Object_beep_clicked=value=playsound_beep" but that's just basic knowledge~" Likenix explained. Teffa sat there dumbfounded and Melph said "well, I dunno what you're talking about, but did you guys see that dude back there? Ultra gay!". For the rest of the trip, Likenix sat in her seat, embarrassed about her about outburst while Melph and Teffa continued talking. They arrived at Levo Library, the home of Omias. Teffa described him as nerdy, but modest. The trio arrived at the large, regal looking door and Teffa knocked on it "J-just a second!" came the reply. The door then opened to reveal the nerdiest guy Likenix has ever seen "hello princess!" he said. "I told you call me Teffa!" Teffa responded, "okay Teffa…" he looked away, blushing. He then took notice of the other two femmes standing behind the princess, "I see you have company" he pointed out, a little nervous at this point. "hi…" Likenix greeted, "Sup little girl" Melph said. "I'm a boy, and my name is Omias" the librarian responded, looking away sheepishly. "Prove it" Melph mocked, laughing, Likenix then elbowed her. "Please excuse her behavior, I'm Likenix and this is Melph" Likenix introduced, "We're here to read the speeches for the king, queen," "and meeee" Teffa concluded. "Certainly! Come in!" Omias responded, and everyone walked in the spacious library. The speech scripts sounded pretty professional Likenix thought, even though she looked up half the words in Melph's internal dictionary with her headphones, with Melph's permission. "incredible!" Teffa cheered, "thank you!" she then preceded to hug Omias, who looked away bashfully and blushed. Teffa released him, "Wow, I have TWO cute girls in my house! Oh, and a robot of course." Omias said smoothly. "You wouldn't know attractive if it kicked you in the nuts, if you had any." Melph shot the comeback. "Alright that's enough" Teffa said calmly, while the situation was being taken care of, Likenix said to herself, "I wonder if there is any tech books in here…"
